Main characters
/
Dark Schneider (noted to be named after Udo Dirkschneider) is the most powerful wizard, revealed to have been created during the final days of the Old World by the Ten Wise Men of Europa as the pilot of the "Dragon Knight", a mecha created to destroy Anthrasax. Following the cataclysm, Dark spent the four centuries cheating death while seeking world dominion and amassing a large harem. Fifteen years prior to the storyline, Dark amassed the Dark Rebel Army from thousands of wizards and warriors, led by his Riders of Havoc, Arshes Nei, Gara and Kall-Su. Dark was defeated by Metallicanan prince Lars Ul Metallicana, reincarnating himself inside the body of Lucien Renren before his spirit is sealed within the newborn by Geo Soto Noto, causing Lucien to grow up into different person. When the reformed Dark Rebel Army commenced a campaign to resurrect Anthrasax, Dark's seal is broken as he becomes a reluctant ally of Metallicana while winning back his Riders of Havoc before resuming his ambition. While originally requiring Yoko to kiss Lucien to manifest, Dark gradually gains the ability to freely take over his host. After losing his battle against Anthrasax, Dark is cast into the depths of the upper levels of Hell where he encounters the fallen angel Satan. Satan reveals to Dark that he is a reabsorbed fragment of his brother Lucifer, the first fallen angel and Lucien's true identity, who is destined to lead demons and mankind to war against Heaven, but Dark refuses to align himself with Hell and then is thrust into battle with the High Commander of Hell, Porno Diano. Four years later, he returns to Earth and fights alongside the Seraphim against the devil Konron (Conlon). His body is destroyed by Konron's Trelldor Spinning Fist attack, but his head survives.
Yoko is a strong-willed and somewhat temperamental redhead, daughter of the Geo Soto Noto, a chaste virgin, self-appointed guardian and friend of Lucien. The primary love interest of Dark Schneider, she is the first to use the "virgin's kiss" to awaken Dark. Having undergone priestess training she does not show any magical talent until later in the manga (acting as the party's cleric) and never in the OVA. Despite this, she is the one person that DS fears and (mostly) respects. She disappeared during the four-year series break, apparently being killed during the fall of King Crimson. In the same time period, a woman with the same appearance and known as "Lilith" appeared alongside the Kings of Hell. She was found near the borders of the Lethe and seems to have some memories about DS.
Four Divine Kings
Gara is a master of Ninjutsu who became a member of the Dark Rebel Army's Divine Generals after impressing Dark in an assassination attempt. He commands a sword which can draw its life force directly from the swordsman, allowing almost unbeatable magic attacks. Unfortunately, the strongest attack is usually fatal to use. When Gara learned of Dark's resurrection, he abducted Yoko and forced Dark to confront him at his keep in a battles that caused them to each lose an arm. Though defeated, Dark wins back Gara's services after restoring his arm and keeping his men alive during the keep's destruction.
A half human, half Dark Elf. Her name is a reference to Whitesnake. Kept as a slave by the Wood Elves, she is now raised by Dark as his adopted daughter and eventual lover, following her tribe abandoning her tribe. As one of the Dark Rebel Army's Divine generals and founding members, Nei is well aware of Dark's abilities and revived some ancient magic used by her followers. When Nei's loyalty to the Dark Rebel Army comes to question, she allowed herself to be cursed by Abigail with the spell Accused. When Nei confronts Dark, Lucien's spirit made Dark Schneider aware of what was driving his daughter to attack. DS was outraged and tore out his own heart to drive off the power of the Accused spell (later resurrecting himself). Arshes rejoins him at this point, and they destroy the advancing armies. After learning Kall-su's true colors. She completely shocked and sad because she seeing him as friend while he never treated her and the others as a pawn.
